Forms toolbar checkboxes

[pfarmer]

I know I can do this with a controls toolbox checkbox, but is it possible to make a forms toolbox checkbox invisible?

I have a series of sheets in different workbooks that have forms toolbox checkboxes and it would be a lot easier to change a vba formula then changing the checkboxes themselves to a controls toolbox checkboxes to simply make them invisible depending on the status of another checkbox.

Sure. Like this:

ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes(1).Visible = True

And, to take a page out of HalfAce's notebook, assign this code to a button and use the single button to toggle the checkboxes on and off:

Sub ToggleCheckboxes()
ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes().Visible = Not ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes().Visible
End Sub

Are you aware of a max number of checkboxes (forms toolbox)? What I am finding is I can apply the visible code to most of the check boxes but for some reason it will not work on three of them.

The only difference I can see is the checkbox number.

The three checkboxes are 253, 256, and 257. Not sure how they got numbered this high as it seems the next highest number is in the 60s.

I am starting to think that maybe this is the reason. I tried creating a new one on the same sheet (not a copy) and it was labeled 259 and the visible code will not work on it either.

Can the number be reset to the highest number + 1 of the ones in the more normal ranges?
